Reinforced and post-tensioned concrete structures in today's construction environment demand more efficient and reliable analysis, design, and BIM workflows. ADAPT-Builder offers a seamless and fully-integrated approach for modeling, analysis and design for single and multi-level concrete...
Learn how to load and design individual beam and column concrete members in RISACalc.
When designing concrete shear walls for lateral loading, RISA-3D includes design checks for both in-plane and out-of-plane shear. In the condition where a concrete wall is under both axial tension and out-of-plane shear, the out-of-plane shear limit state for a specific region within the concrete...
For concrete column members, the load combination producing the maximum shear code check is reported in the Detail Report and corresponding Results spreadsheet. Since concrete is evaluated based on a batch solution, this can be useful when shear governs the design.
In RISA-3D we now have the ability to design concrete shear walls for seismic forces.
The BS EN 1992-1-1:2004+A1:2014 has been implemented in RISA-3D version 16.0 and RISAFloor version 12.0. To select this code for your design, simply open the Model Settings and under the Codes tab select BS EN 1992-1-1:2004+A1:2014 for concrete:
RISAFloor ES v12 now includes the ability to manually define user reinforcement in concrete slabs.
In RISAFoundation, you can add a vertical offset for slabs or beams. Traditionally, RISA uses centerline analysis which aligns all elements at their centerline. This is a common structural analysis assumption as the loads will get transferred to the centerline even if there is difference in the...
